Monday morning, 1145 am or so. Denmark airport and so far, we've gotten checked in and through security without incident. I see on the monitors that all flights to-from Stockholm are canceled, so OB and Lorie, hope you are not in a storm or stranded at your own airport! It's goodbye to Denmark and hello to Czech Republic in a few hours.
Innsbruck - here despite it never being on my to-see list
First the backstory. In about a week I'll be boarding a cruise ship (this year's Cruise Trek) in Romania. When I booked the flight many months ago, I had a brilliant idea to go in a week early to Vienna and use it as a base to spend a few nights each in Albania and Bosnia. Fast forward to 6 weeks ago and the Covid restrictions, flight schedules, and hotel prices made me give up. Changing the flight to Vienna would result in penalties and possibly fare increases so I made the best of it and thought, where can I go in Austria where I've never been? Innsbruck, hmm. Can I get a free flight from Vienna? Yes! Can I get a free hotel room? Yes. Check! The city is picture perfect though. Nestled in a valley between two mountain ranges, it's green, colorful, and everything you could want a place to be when the purpose is total work decompression. No major sightseeing, no expectations. You, a city and a view. It's walkable and small. You've got to look up, left and right, ...
It rained all day but not too hard so I don't know what's going on. We chose today to walk around the outdoor folk museum. Tomorrow we get the car (at the airport) and drive to Oslo. We don't leave until Sat. so hopefully we can fly out then.
